That lineup is truly putrid. One forward line that is dangerous, one that you hope might be able to not get scored on too much, and two lines you hope can skate the length of the ice without falling over.

The defence is, somehow, even worse. A first pairing that would be an average to below average second pairing followed by 4 guys that would be average or worse... In the AHL.

If Talbot doesn't stand on his head this will be a slaughter, even against the lowly Blues.

Have to think the top line plays north of 25 to 30 minutes. It's there only hope.

As bad as that lineup is they will probably beat the Blues tonight.

Don't forget the 12-15 penalties McDingledongle should draw because he is so darn fast.

I don't know about that. Blues were embarrassed by the Flames the other night and you have to think they'll be fired up tonight.

Also, Talbot is starting and he hasn't been good this year. Oilers have been winning a lot of games off the back of Koskinen who has stood on his head for the most part. The game against the Canucks was the first game in a while where Koskinen looked below average, and of course they lost as a result. If Talbot doesn't have a good game tonight, I think the Oilers probably lose.

And because Coach Hitchcock pointed out how many calls were missed against Vancouver. McConnor is sick with 31 ailments and those crossovers are just so darn mesmerizing that the nhl should just reward the Oilers with power plays all night!

Blues were embarrassed Sunday so they could be looking to rebound strong against the Oil

Identity line = NG

6 goals and 9 assists total.

Probably from time with McDavid at some point though. Not sure how to find that out without going game by game scoring logs. But I’ve got time so please hold.

The line as a whole has produced 1 goal by Kassian assisted by Lucic in the 6-4 win over Colorado on Dec 11th.

Points earned while playing with other players:
Lucic (1G, 5A):
- 1G, 1A in game 1 with McFries and Dr. Drai
- 1A (secondary) on McD PP goal vs Pittsburgh
- 1A on Drai pp goal vs Nashville
- 1A (secondary) vs Colorado on a Rattie goal while playing with Brodziak

Kassian (1G, 1A):
- 1G vs Chicago while playing with Brodziak and Khaira
- 1A vs Col on a Drai goal

Brodziak (3G, 2A):
- 2G vs Detroit while playing with Khaira and Kassian
- 1A vs SJ on a SHG by RNH
- 1G vs Col while playing with Khaira and Kassian
- 1A vs Col on a Drai goal

Edit: I must have missed a Lucic assist somewhere, but then again so did everyone else.

Nurse amost played half the game. You can't like those odds. He's not a big minute player.

The Oilers got completely pantsed by the Blue's tonight. outplayed 5x5, useless on the PP, welcome back Oilers, Welcome back.


Now Hitch has no choice but to practice them hard and yell at them, Connor will burst into tears like the suck he is, and mutter that he doesn't like Hitch anymore and that Big Daddy Mac-T and Mess will deal with this.

This is why hitch did the hailmary for more penalties to becalled because the oilers are garbage 5v5. He knows the new coach bump has expired and is just trying to make to the Christmas break before it all falls apart.
